Snowflakes were reported just south of Cottonwood and even in parts of Camp Verde.

Higher elevations in Sedona (such as West Sedona) received about 1 inch of snow.

The storm system rolled into the area around 5 p.m. Tuesday and tapered off Wednesday morning, said Klimowski.

According to the NWS, Cottonwood received about 0.35 inches of rain and Camp Verde received 0.42 inches. Sedona received 0.26 inches of rain, and Oak Creek Canyon received 0.49 inches.
